Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 4., 1919.

Application led April 15,1918. SerialNO. 228,571.

To all wlw/1a t may concern:

Be it known that I, EDGAR A.' GILLINDER, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Jar for Preserves, &c., of whichthe following is a specification.

My invention consists of a jar of the order of a fruit, vegetable, packing or other jar having in the neck portion thereof a seat for the cover of the j ar, and other means adapting a pad of paraffin or waxlike material to be imposed on said cover and be peripherally interlocked with said neck so as to control the cover in position and hermetically seal the joint of the cover with its seat and adjacent portion of the neck.

It consists also in providing the cover with a handle with which the central portion of the pad may interlock thus providing means for retaining the pad in position additionally to the interlocking of said pad or seal on its peripheral lportion with the neck of the jar.

The invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific details shown and described, as long as they are within the spirit or scope of the claims.

Figure l representsfa vertical section of a preserve jar embodying my invention..

Fig. 2 represents a top or :plan view thereof. v

Fig. 3 represents a horizontal section on line 3-3 Fig. l, looking downward.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts'in the gures. Referring` to the drawings Yl designates the bodyof the jar, and2 f designates the neck thereof, the jar being formed of glass or other vitreous or equivaient material. On the inner side of said neck is the outturned channel, and below the same is the inwardly 'extending horizontal shoulder 4, which is of less diameter than the diameter of the interiorl of said neck. The shoulder 4 consists of upper and lower walls which are joined on theirinner ends by a curved bend 'which -presentsl no raw edge on the interior of the neck of the jar' and prevents chipping of the inner edge of the shoulder. Again, said shoulder is formed by inwardly crimping the glass of said neck while yet hot from the exterior of the latter afterv the interior of said neck `producing said shoulder Vhandle being integral of has been blown, which as is evident is without shoulder, the latter being incapable of being blown or molded from within Athe jar into shape.

Then said shoulder is formed by inwardly crimping the glass as has been stated, thus of two walls, viz: the upper one on which the peripheral portion of the cover4 is seated, and the lower wall -which sustains the inner end of said upper wall and then joins the Vportion of the neck below the outer end of said upper wall, said double walls thus forming the shoulder of great strength.

5 designates the cover of the jar, the same having thereon the knob like memberl 6 which rises centrally therefrom and comprises a handle Afor the cover, the top edge Aof said knob like-member being iiush with the top edge 'of the neck, said cover` and Aglass or other vitreous or equivalent material, said cover being of less diameter than the interior diameter of the neck so as to be capable of being passed through the latter and be placed upon the shoulder 4.

On the top of the cover is the pad/7 of paraffin, waX or other suitable material the same comprising a seal and closure for the cover. v

After the jar is supplied with an article to be `preserved or packed, the cover is introduced through the neck and seated on the shoulder 4, the periphery of said cover then being inclosed by the vertical wall 8 of the shoulder 4.

Paralin, wax, or other material of the 'kind in suitableplastic condition is now Ving` said pad-with the neck lof the jar. VThe channel 3 is formed by outwardly crimping the neck of the jar from within the same,

' thus preserving the thickness of the glass in said crimp the same as in the remainder of the neck, and consequently nnpartlng strength to' the wall of said channel since the' crimp is a corrugation both internally and externally and so provides a reinforced connection for the upper and lower portions of the neck.

Again the exterior of the base of the knob aoV c wardly Vfrom joint, whereby and the-n withdrawn or handle is undercut or reducedvin diameter so that the wall of the opening in the central portion of the pad and is prevented from rising on the flaring portion of said knob, with somewhat of the viz., peripherally and centrally, thus efectively retaining the cover on the shoulder 4f, vpreventing its displacement therefrom and hermetically sealing the joint of the cover, the wall 8 and they shoulder 4, thus tightly closing the jar whether it is in the position shown in Fig. 1, or is in an inverted position, which latter is practised in some cases. In saidl inverted position the top edge of the knob like-member which is now below will rest ,on the table, shelf.l or other place of location of the jar flush with the top edge of the neck, or mouth proper of the jar, and the weight of the jar and its contents causes said knob to press the cover 5 firmly upward on its seat centered from said knob whereby the sealing of the jar as inverted is assured. y l

In Vorder to open the moved, when thecover is free so that it may be lifted from its seat on the shoulder 4, y, y through `the neck 2, when the contents of the jar are accessible. It will ,be noticed that the upper portion of the knob-like member is entirely above and sonremoved `trom the pad?, whereby it remains uncovered free to be grasped by the fingers for handling purposes.

In practice the cover 5 is simply a flat circular disk Vor plate-of glass, porcelain, or similar` material, and so is inexpensive in construction and easily appliable and removable, it being nicely retainable inwclosed positionl by the pad imposed thereon and obviates the use ,of -hreads, screw caps, or the like ,on jars or receptacles of the class. v

I-Iaving thus described my invention what I claim las new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Jl. A preserve jar having a neck provided with` a crimp extending inwardly from the exterior thereofforming a double-wall-inturned shoulder, Aa lcrimp extending outthe interior of the= neck forming an outwardly. extending channel, a cover for-the jar having its peripherau portion adapted, to be seated on the upper wallof said shoulder, and sealing pad on said cover having its peripheral portion adapted to be seated in said channel, .said cover havjar the pad is reing a handle-'like member which rises there-Y Copies of'k this patent may be obtained for encircls' the sameit interlocking' there'- order of a dovetailed'y the pad is doubly controlled- `it will rest fiat on 'both said top edge of the mouth of the jar and said top edge of the handle-like member. Y

2. A` preserve jar having a neck provided with a crimp extending inwardly from the exterior thereof" orming a double fallinturned shoulder, a crimp lextending outwardly from the interior of the neck forming an outwardly extending channel, a cover for the jar having itsV peripheral portion adapted to .be seated on the upper wall of said shoulder, and a sealing` pad on said cover having its peripheral portion adapted to be seated in said channel, said cover having centrally thereon a knob-like member whose base is `undercut forming a dovetail with which the center of said pad interlocks, the portion of said member above said undercut being free of said pad and exposed or handling 3.' A preserve jar having a neck provided on its interior with an" inturned shoulder and an outturned channel, a cover' adapted to be seatedvo-nl said' shoulder, a sealing pad adapt'edto be seated on said cover and having its peripheral portion fitted in said channel, and aAknob-like member rising centrally from said cover through said pad', the base of said member being undercut and having said pad interlocl' with the same, portionof said member being removed from said the cover. Y
